Membership in the Haskell Family Association (HFA) is open to all Haskell family members worldwide and others with an interest in Haskell family history and genealogy. Benefits of membership include:
- Subscription to the Haskell Journal, the official newsletter of the Haskell Family Association.
- Participation in Haskell Family Reunions where you will meet Haskell cousins from around the world.
- Access to past issues of the Haskell Journal and other genealogical resources that will help you with your research of Haskell genealogy.
The Haskell Journal is emailed to all members as a pdf file. It is also available to download, along with all past issues of the Haskell Journal, from the Members Only page of this website. Members living in the United States can also request to have a printed copy of the Haskell Journal mailed to them by sending a request to haskellfamilyassociation@gmail.com.

The origin of the Haskell name is discussed in the book, Haskells in North America - Descendants of William Haskell and Elinor Foule Through Five Gererations, shown on the home page. One of the leading theories discussed in detail in that book is that the name Haskell may well have its origin in “housecarls,” the name that King Canute gave his personal bodyguards about 1016 AD. Royal housecarls in England are well-known for having fought under Harold Godwinson at the battle of Hastings. It is for these reasons that the Haskell Family Association has established the special membership category of Housecarl. The scroll shows the current list of Housecarls.
